It's perfect timing too, with all owners of Dawn of War: Soulstorm - retail or electronic - able to join the Dawn of War II beta today. Players without Soulstorm will have to wait until January 28 when the multiplayer beta is opened up to all.

Valve has also announced that Dawn of War II is now available to be pre-purchased via Steam.

Dawn of War II is scheduled for release in Europe on February 20, 2009.
